CRH Theatre Manager Debra Yates and her husband Andrew donated 36 cuddly toy dinosaurs for all the children who were inpatients on Christmas Day.

Debra, second from right at the back, said: “My husband is a theatre manager at Bradford and recently set up a paediatric service that included a teddy bear to children.

“As Clinical Operations Manager at CRH I also wanted to link in with our own children's services as I have seen the positive impact on how soft toys create a sense of calm and reassurance especially on Christmas Day.

"We chose to donate these dinosaurs to children who will unfortunately be spending Christmas in hospital.”

Debra was joined in the picture by colleagues from the Children's Ward, Theatre Staff Nurse, Hazel Kaye and Theatre Matron, Sarah Wallwork.
